Bayfield in summer. Can’t beat it.
LizzieWoj@lizziewoj.bsky.social · 6d agoA new book (thanks @honestdogbooks.bsky.social for the great recommendation!), live music in the park, a view of Lake Superior and Madeline Island from the balcony, and a Spotted Cow—can’t imagine a more wonderful way to spend an evening.
Huge thanks to the team at @honestdogbooks.bsky.social for shipping out my last beach reads subscription a little early and enabling this situation!!!!
New book day. And as always such a treat to receive books from @honestdogbooks.bsky.social You get some artwork. A book wrapped nicer than any present I ever wrap, and a connection a some person doing that for you way up in Bayfield.
I bought this bed for Gilby but Matt says it’s just right for him.

Big breaking news for Gilby. He mustered all his courage and can now go up the stairs. . .
5 years ago, we started a 1-day festival to celebrate the freedom to read. In short, it’s not getting any better so now we’ve expanded to 3 days w film, education & music. honestdogbooks.com/stand-with-t...
Kicking off the 2026 Dogs of Summer thread with this treat-eating rainbow 🌈 tail of love.
I wrote about my first weeks with Gilby, the beagle who lived his first 2 years in the Ridglan breeding encampment. My focus: teaching Gilby to be a dog 🐶 Elton & Matt have been ❤️❤️ allies. You can read my update in today’s weekly email or on our bookstore blog honestdogbooks.com/blog

My first Gilby doodle (coming to you Heather). It’s official —we’re a 3-dog family and bookstore.
Remember when I asked you all to weigh in on 2K Beagles raised in a pole barn in cages. Well, it worked. Ridgland released 1,500 (paid for by rescue orgs) & I adopted this one. Meet Gilby, named for the young man who went undercover in 2017 to expose the abuses.
Honest Dog Books@honestdogbooks.bsky.social · 4mo agoIf you live in WI, now would be a good time to call our AG & ask him to shut down Ridglan, which keeps 2K–yes 2K–Beagles in wire cages. Activists rescued 22 pups last month. This past weekend they went to save the rest & were met w tear gas & rubber bullets. #savethedogs Call 608-266-1221 x4
